I am terrible! 6 months since I have logged on and posted something. A lot has changed. I am currently working for the State of Oregon instead of toiling away in a job I was sure would claim my sanity.
I have been so much happier and more at peace since the switch! I couldn't have made a better choice, now if only the paycheck can start to equal the happiness...then I'm set. :)
I am also down 20 lbs from when I first began this blog which is making me very happy. I am terribly impatient and would just love to see the lbs fly off. However, supposedly "slow and steady wins the race" I just dunno ;)
I received the opportunity for a free 3 months at a local gym *due to their own shady past practices* and thanks to my wonderful mother I am able to go twice a week. I feel wonderful. I had forgotten how it feels to get up a good sweat and really start to feel happy with your effort and appearance. I missed the strength (both physical and mental) that comes from working out. I am happy to be making steps towards being the healthy happy woman and mother I deserve to be.
In the past few months I have made some amazing friends and strengthened friendships with others. Having this network has made a wonderful difference. I love having girls to gab with guys to laugh with and other mothers who are able to help each other out. We all know how tough single-mommyhood can be.
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Remember to say thank you to those around you who make a difference in your life and to remember all of the blessings that God has given to you!
